Unfortunately, I get the exact same behavior with this card that I did with the SB live. It plays some sounds, others it does not play at all. However, inevitably after it's played a few sounds or many, the system locks up then reboots, or it drops into DDB. During previous attempts to narrow down this problem, it was determined that people with ECC RAM were suffering panics with the SB live much more so than those without. During my tests today I actually got it do go into DDB once. The trace showed that the kernel had actually panic'ed in fxp_start(). That happened a couple times. The other function it died in was fxp_mc_setup. Offhand, this would indicate to me that the problem may be in how pcm is handling interaction with the PCI bus, since two different PCI sound cards are causing the panics. Disabling ECC made no difference. My mb is an Asus P2B. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help....
